A new season of lunchtime organ concerts began yesterday at Huddersfield Town Hall. ​It featured Kirklees borough organist Gordon Stewart with a brass ensemble from Opera North. Music ranged from Bach to Dupré. Wood Pipe Organ Builders is pleased to be entrusted with the care of this distinguished Father Willis instrument.

Glad to come across the posting. I was in the audience for the concert. Brass and organ are always an exciting combination and the Thalben Ball Elegy, rich-toned and poignant, sounded magnificent. The young men from Opera North were outstanding and Mr Stewart played with usual panache. Someone should broadcast these concerts.

I always like how Gordon manages to sneak in a plug for the sale of his CDs. Very funny!

One week he was getting set to play the final piece and hadn't mentioned his CD stall. He'd forgotten? No chance! Just before he started he got a plug in!!
